The perfection Of the process termed photo
cbromotype, for the production Of colored
prints or chromOs is due, it is said, 20 the
house Of Aeyerer q Goschel Of Vienna. The
copy for reproduction in colors is first photo
Autographed, and from these impressions the

For instance, upon one sheet the yellow Is
laid. upon another the red, this being re-
peated until each tint has been worked in
upon its corresponding separate sheet. Mega

zinc printing plates are etched In half tone.
The balance Of the process is then nothing
more than the usual fitting Of color stones in

rxrrRIMENr IN MAGNFTIsM.

Insert a light thread In the needle, tie and
cut off one enl leaving n single thread six OF
eight inches long Lay a horseshoe magnet
on a table with the poles in front. Magnetic
the needle by rubbing 1t several times, Away
In one direction, by one pole Of the magnet,
after each stroke returning the magnet in an
arc through the air Take the end Of the
thread between thumb and finger, and sus
pend the needle over its attractive pole,
allowing the point TO come within one fourth
Of an inch Of the magnet, then, with circu-
lar sweep Of the hand, TO keep the point in
position, draw the eye OF the needle down to
ward the other pole This, if carefully done,
will bring the needle 70 a horizontal position,
where it will remain, floating or in suspen-
sion rs long rs the thread is held steadily.
The magnetic forces operating TO produce
this effect appear 10 be, first, the attraction Of
the left pole for the point Of the needle;
second, the repulsion of the right pole for the
same point, and third, the attraction of the
right pole for the eye Of the needle, which Is
resisted by the thread supporting the needle;
the latter also is held from approaching the
left pole by the same means. The experiment
may be made more effective by covering the
magnet with a sheet Of paper, thus conceal
